political unity
Factions working together
Political unity is the condition of a group, nation, or movement acting as one despite internal differences.
It implies shared purpose or coordination among factions that might otherwise disagree: The party achieved rare political unity on the immigration bill.
Leaders often invoke political unity during crises, though critics may see such calls as suppressing legitimate dissent.
